Hottest thing right now is lil b... Mess calls himself a bitch. Only thing i like so far that is new out is usually coming from san jose. Everything else sounds like shit to me or mediocre. I use to listen to alot of shit from oakland and vallejo back then but iono what happen. I know folks will hate me for this but imo jacka is extremely mediocre. Cognito is doing his thing but i really dont think bay area when i listen to him for some reason. What happen to all the hits man? E40 and too short are in their 40s now man, what happened to thia generation of musicians from the bay in general?
so what do you guys think of bay rap as of this point?
- Thread starter bored
- Start date
Turf Talk, Livewire, Mobb Figgaz, E40, SB and Krypto, Nio Tha Gift, Balance, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, Ampachino, Gangsta Reese, Stik Gilatine, Awax, Critic, Killa Tay, Laroo, Bueno, San Quinn,etc..
Then there is the up and coming hungry dudes like Danked Out, Roach Gigs, Pody Mouf, Berner, Moses soul
There is still lots of good bay area rap
LIL B is not the hottest in the bay, hes the worst imo.

u crazier than a basehead askin for a dubb for the 5 sayin that jacka is mediocre...he one of the hottest thangs movin.he the most relevant & consistent bay area artists out. everybody love his shit & he keep it street...he aint gotta sell out for a deal...he gonna sell regardless...& just cuz niggaz is in they 40's dont mean they fell off...besides ridin the hyphy train e-40 still make dope music & is an innovator in this rap game...75% of americas slang comes from that man alone...the only newer niggaz in the game that i listen to is them livewire niggaz...j stalin keep it mobb. he make that good d-boy music.
Taj-He-Spitz was definitely a highlight of the new generation of bay rappers, but hes locked up for a while.
Also Nate Grapes was dope, but hes gone for a decade.
As far as new talent that is making solid music in the area i gotta go with: Roach Gigz, Young Rebz, Inf Gang, Moe Green, D. Ross (not that new though) and theres a few others

well.... you kind of have to look at what's happening in rap right now, period. a lot of the legendary cats that have been holding it down for years are getting old and the "industry" is changing into a new phase. this decade will fa sho become all digital, which means more music for free and easier to access.
so basically what im getting at is right now its prime time for cats to come in with a different approach, stay on top of what's changing in this business right now and bring in a new era of hip-hop music.
at the same time there will be plenty of people still trying to push the same formula and follow an outdated way to "success..." and lots of Bay cats are doing this right now with unoriginal, played out, non creative music. but thats just my opinion.

I gotta disagree. I think anyone who grinds deserves it. We may think they suck, but they prolly stay grindin 24/7. Some folks we think deserve shine may not be grindin as hard. I know I don't. I've gotten more press and exposure by other folks than doing it myself. It's not bad, but I think if I personally stayed on my shit, I wouldn't be an absolute nobody
